Madam Speaker, let us look at this. First we heard about WE Charity, and then we heard about the $237 million that was given to a couple of guys who started a business just 10 days before they were awarded the contract and who were unable to deliver even half of what they were asked for. Next, we heard about non-indigenous companies passing themselves off as indigenous in order to get contracts. That is not counting the fact that there are probably a whole lot of other things that we do not know about yet, some well-kept secrets and some secrets that will soon come to light.
If we take all that together, it makes me wonder whether the real problem is the government's inability to manage public funds properly. When we look more closely, we see that there are still governments within the government. When it comes to governance in the sense of an overarching power, it seems to be a system, a shadowy web. Could the real problem be that, regardless of the government's political stripe, there are too many sub-governments in the big machine that is Ottawa?
